Shouldn't being the key word here. I'm still not jumping on this dual-GPU on a single card bandwagon until some guinea pigs give it a good testing. The previous cards were just entirely too crappy.

I totally agree with you there. There is no need to rush into this one as reviewers should be able to give a good opinion.

If you looked at the difference between the 7950gx2 and the 9800gx2 a lot of gains has been made with getting programs to scale properly and at least getting SLI mode to work. The 9800gx2 can provide good frame rates, but still needs some tweaks to get the entire package working. If they can provide another solid improvement they might finally have a winner.
